The movie "Mac Ly" officially premiered on June 9. On the first day of broadcasting, the movie had a hotness that exceeded 25,000 points and attracted 31 advertising brands after only the first 5 episodes, setting a new record on Tencent and becoming the champion in terms of sponsorship attraction this year.
Although it aired at noon and was temporarily inferior in terms of discussion and viewership compared to Tran Do Linh's "Kieu So", "Mac Ly" still received many positive feedbacks from the audience. Many people appreciated the realistic image, not abusing beauty effects. Besides, the chemical reaction between Bach Loc and Thua Loi is also considered one of the big highlights of the film.
In the movie, Bach Loc plays Diep Ly, a girl who follows her mother to live at Ly Son library for 8 years after her parents separated. Her peaceful life changes when she is married to Dinh Vuong Mac Tu Nghieu (played by Thua Loi).
Mặc Tu Nghiêu originally came from a prestigious family, but suffered a major upheaval when his older brother suddenly led troops back to the capital, causing continuous defeats in the war, losing 3 strongholds. His older brother was executed, and Mặc Tu Nghiêu himself suffered leg injuries after many years of fighting, from which many people looked down on him. Therefore, many people thought that the marriage between him and Diệp Ly would not succeed.
But in fact, the predestined relationship between the two began many years ago. When Mac Tu Nhieu was escorted on a prison car and became the focus of criticism from everyone, Diep Ly quietly brought him breakfast cake.
After many years of reunion, Mac Tu Nhieu realizes that the girl of that year has become more mature but still maintains her honesty and sincerity. This is also the foundation for the "marry first, love later" love story that many viewers are looking forward to.
In addition to the love line, "Mac Ly" also creates attraction thanks to the secrets surrounding the character Diep Ly. She is the only survivor after the incident at the Ly Son library. The close servant Thanh Suong has also passed away, but because she misses her too much, Diep Ly often imagines she is still by her side. This detail makes the character Thanh Suong one of the big mysteries of the film, and at the same time arouses curiosity about the events that have happened in the female lead's past.
Although the pace of the film in the first episodes is considered quite slow, "Mac Ly" still retains the audience with secrets surrounding Diep Ly and the journey of developing the relationship between the two main characters.
After an impressive debut with a series of advertising records, the film is expected to become one of the most prominent historical films on Chinese screens in the near future.
